Can't do that in H-Town they have installed cameras on the machines now and you have to read the bar code of the car being smogged. I am just surprised in such an oppressive state as Illinois that 8 years would be the limit. Here it's 24 years. That's why I'm concerned about a cat that will pass emissions. I am going to end up with headers and could fab up a stock flanged cat for use when getting the car inspected, and a regular cat for normal running or just a pipe. They on;y really check to see if the check engine light is on and use a sniffer and do a 25 mph and 35 mph dyno test.
